Alizé Antigua 10ft Market Umbrella with Built-In Fans
The Alizé Antigua is a 10 ft market umbrella with built-in fan cooling — the first of its kind to combine resort-quality shade with whisper-quiet integrated airflow in a single, elegantly engineered system.
Inspired by the warmth and ease of the Caribbean, the Antigua brings the feel of a luxury outdoor space to any patio, pool deck, or dining area. But this is not just a beautiful umbrella. It is a comfort system. Four patented brushless DC fans are built seamlessly into the canopy structure, circulating fresh air directly where people sit — no floor fans, no extension cords, no equipment cluttering your space.
Shade and airflow. One structure. One button.
The Canopy
The 10 ft canopy delivers generous shade for tables seating 6 to 8 people, loungers, and open gathering areas. The warm wood-grain finish gives the Antigua a classic, designer-friendly aesthetic that pairs with virtually any outdoor furniture — from teak dining sets to modern powder-coated aluminum. The marine-grade fabric is UV-resistant, water-resistant, and built to hold its color and structure through seasons of daily use.
The Fan System
The integrated four-fan system uses brushless DC motors — the same motor technology found in premium ceiling fans and high-efficiency appliances. Brushless motors run significantly quieter than conventional motors, have no friction-prone brushes to wear out, and deliver more airflow per watt of power consumed. The result is a fan that runs quietly enough for conversation, efficiently enough for all-day use, and reliably enough to outlast the seasons.
The fans circulate air downward and outward across the full canopy area, creating the convective cooling effect your body needs to actually feel cooler — not just shadier. As a standalone shade structure, a traditional umbrella does nothing about stagnant air. The Antigua solves both problems simultaneously.
Built to Last
The frame is commercial-grade aluminum — lightweight, rust-resistant, and engineered to hold up to wind, rain, UV exposure, and daily use. All wiring is sealed with outdoor-rated connectors to prevent moisture ingress. The entire system is designed for years of reliable outdoor performance, not just one season.
Who It Is For
The Antigua is the right umbrella for homeowners who want a premium residential outdoor space, Airbnb hosts who want their outdoor areas to impress guests, and light commercial settings including café patios, boutique hotel terraces, and poolside dining. If you want your outdoor space to feel as considered and comfortable as the inside of your home, the Antigua is where that starts.

Why Choose an Alizé Umbrella
How is the umbrella powered?
The Alizé Umbrella plugs into any standard 2-prong electrical socket. The AC power is converted to DC in an external waterproof power supply attached to the bottom of the umbrella pole, designed for safe and reliable outdoor use.
Does it require batteries?
No, it plugs into a standard electrical outlet for continuous operation.
How do the fans work?
The Alizé Umbrella features four individually controlled fans, allowing you to adjust airflow for personalized comfort with the push of a button on the pole.
- Press once for low speed
- Press twice for medium speed
- Press three times for high speed
- Press a fourth time to turn off and lock the fan
For added safety, the fans are secured in place with a solenoid pin, which only activates when the umbrella is fully open and powered. Even if the power is disconnected, the fans remain securely locked in place, ensuring stability at all times.
Can I use the fans without the umbrella open?
No, for safety reasons, the fans only operate when the umbrella is fully opened.
How powerful are the fans?
The Alizé Umbrella’s fans deliver over 4,000 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM)—equivalent to the airflow of two standard 20-inch box fans. Each of the four fans is quiet yet powerful, moving over 1,000 CFM individually to provide superior cooling and maximum comfort in outdoor spaces.
How fast do the fans spin?
The fans operate at multiple speed settings, allowing users to adjust airflow to their preference.
Is it blowing hot air?
No! The fans circulate natural outdoor air through vents built into the canopy, while baffles guide airflow up and around the fans. This design enhances ventilation and keeps you cool.
Does it include a base?
The umbrella does not include a base, allowing you to choose the best mounting option for your setup. It is compatible with standard umbrella bases.
Does it have built-in lighting?
Currently, the umbrella does not include lights, but it is designed to accommodate add-on lighting powered by the USB charging ports if desired.
Does it have a tilt function?
No. In order to maintain a safe height for the fans and keep hands clear of moving parts, the umbrella is designed without a tilt.
Is the frame rust-proof?
Yes, the frame is made of corrosion-resistant aluminum and features marine-grade hardware for long-term durability.
Does it have USB ports?
Yes, it includes USB-A and USB-C fast-charging ports to keep your devices powered while you relax.
Can I use the charging ports without the fans running?
Yes, the USB charging ports operate independently of the fans.
What safety features does it have?
The umbrella automatically shuts off if closed while a fan is running. It also has self-opening fan guards to protect users.
Can it be used near pools or the beach?
Yes! The marine-grade hardware and weather-resistant construction make it ideal for poolside and beach environments.
What happens if it rains?
The umbrella is made with weather-resistant materials, and the power components are waterproof for outdoor use. However, we recommend unplugging it during heavy storms.
How much wind can the umbrella withstand?
The umbrella has been windtunnel tested up to 43 MPH.
What is the warranty?
The Alizé Umbrella comes with 30 day money back guarantee and a 2-year limited warranty covering parts and manufacturing defects.
How long does it take to ship?
In stock items ship within 2 business days and delivery times vary based on location.
